Jodi Hicks, president of Planned Parenthood CA, talks to POLITICO about whether abortion can be a motivating message in a blue state like California.
Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California President and CEO Jodi Hicks speaks at a November 2022 rally in Long Beach urging voters to turn out for Proposition 1, a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to an abortion. | Damian Dovarganes/AP PhotoEver since the reversal of Roe v. Wade two years ago threw Democrats a political life raft in the midterm elections, abortion rights were destined to be a central part of the party’s strategy in 2024.
The stark difference between Congress, Senate and our president is whether or not we’re going to have policymakers that protect access to abortion nationwide, or we have policymakers that are going to pass a federal ban. And those are the two choices that voters have right now — even in a state like California.
It’s a stark reminder when we have our neighbors that are facing this type of challenge, and we know that California will be impacted. We saw it before, when there was a pause on services right after Dobbs and Roe was overturned and we saw an increase — we saw our parking lots full of license places that said Arizona. So we know we’ll be impacted.
What you said was absolutely right. We know that when people are faced with whether or not they can vote for abortion rights and reproductive rights and birth control, and put it as a protection in the Constitution, they overwhelmingly vote to do that.
